The GriGri belay device made by Petzl can reduce your risk while climbing, but if you don't use it properly, it can also lead to failure to catch a falling climber. GriGri mechanics are fairly simple. They work like car seatbelts - with a camming action that pinches a climbing rope in place.
Contrary to what you may have learned at the crag or down at the climbing gym, GriGris are not auto-locking or automatic belay devices. They are assisted braking devices. this means you cannot ever take your brake hand off the brake line.
If you don't have a GriGri yet, pick one up today and also help me add more content to Adventure School through this Amazon affiliate link that gives a bit to me at no extra cost to you
